Development of instrument to report and assess causality of adverse events related to herbal medicines
Abstract: Background: The use of herbal medicines is justified empirically using ethnopharmacological knowledge, which has limitations. Reports of adverse events (AE) may contribute for safety, quality, and effectiveness assessment. Objectives: This study aimed to develop an instrument to allow...

Two cases were distributed in an interval of one week in order to allow for completion of the proposal form.
